SU5 Patch: it Updates Performance but not Graphics

Discussion Hub General Discussion

It’s basically looking like FSX all over again. I really don’t get it… In terms of video technology we went back to October 2006 overnight.

Overall: Cartoony pixels, over-saturation and ugly (water) reflection models still here. Running it at a great pc bought especially for FS20 this year which produced stunning results back in SU4.

Yeah these are taken just now. I’ve never experienced CTD’s with FS20, not even after SU5. For me they really broke it in terms of graphics. It just looks like FSX and it’s not supposed to do that. I’m just posting it here for developers to see. I don’t know what they are seeing over at their super computers, but my own super computer can only generate this which is a fraction of what it was last week. The ambiance is gone completely. I couldn’t even see the runway on short final due to over saturation and bad antialiasing.

Yep, agree with the graphics, very strange… I am sure they will address and fix this. Feels like we are in a MSFS software experiment in trying to tune this thing. Colors are washed out and not as sharp.

Well as long as they remain tuning…

I’m just worried it’s never really going to fit, the SU4+ on an Xbox. Leaving us with… well… with “this”…
